THE COBB Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE COBB sales between March 1999 and October 2020 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the June 2012 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.
